Orphaned baby wallabies enjoy new home at Perth Zoo

Orphaned baby wallabies are enjoying their new life at Perth Zoo in Australia, adorable footage shows.

This video, taken from the zoo’s behind-the-scenes “creche cam”, shows five Tammar Wallaby joeys making themselves at home.

The youngsters were discovered on Garden Island earlier in 2024 having lost both parents.

They were raised by wildlife carers before arriving at the zoo.

The joeys are expected to move into the zoo’s wider wallaby and kangaroo habitat in the coming months once they have grown a little more.
